Aqua Marina

This pink cleanser (almost gone! sorry!) is creamy but don't let that fool you. It can be drying on normal-dry skin types, but this product works perfectly in the summer months on my normal skin. It is marketed towards sensitive, dry skin, and I can tell you it doesn't irritate my skin -- as long as I don't use it in the winter. It does the job and leaves my skin feeling soft. If you do have sensitive or dry skin, get a sample first.

Breath of Fresh Air

This clear, alcohol-free toner doesn't irritate or dry out my skin, but it doesn't really do anything fantastic either. It's a good option if you just want a simple toner to prep your skin before you apply moisturizer or to refresh your skin throughout the day. The spray bottle makes that job easy.

British Nanny

This moisturizer is super heavy. Seriously. If I turned the pot upside down, nothing at all would spill out. The good news, though, is that it has SPF 30 which obviously makes it a great daytime moisturizer. What doesn't make it a great daytime moisturizer is how heavy the product is. I use the tiniest possible amount to cover my face and, although it feels like it has absorbed nicely, it always leaves a sheen on my forehead. And I don't even have oily skin. Oh well. A little powder or an oil-absorbing sheet and the problem goes away. The only other problem: I can only get this product from the British website.

Gorgeous

Now this product is my hands down favourite product from Lush. I literally have no cons to this product (other than the price). It gives my skin the perfect amount of moisture and sinks in really quickly. After I apply it, my skin just feels like skin. There's no stickiness or film whatsoever. It doesn't irritate my skin at all, but the ingredients leave my skin brighter and brighter every time I use it. Thanks to this product, I never wear foundation, concealer, or BB cream. Ever. Perfect for oily-normal skin.
